Afrotainment boss Dj Tira and newly signed artist Mbali Ngidi will celebrate their Valentine’s Day with the workers from Osindisweni Hospital.

Osindisweni Hospital is based in Veralum in the north of Durban in KwaZulu Natal and the two artists are plamning to shower the workers with love on Friday.

Speaking to Mdn News, Mbali said the visits to the hospital is inspired by her late mother who worked in the centre for over 32 years before she took an early retirement.

“Besides being born and bred in Osindisweni, my mother used to work there before she took an early retirement in 2022 and unfortunately my mother passed away in February 2023. She worked there for more than 32 years. I know the struggle that they were facing and the current workers are going through the same but we want to show them love and appreciate them that despite everything but they are soldiering on.

 

“We are going there to plant the seed of love and to honour them in the job that they do. We are seeing the improvements and we would like to appreciate the staff for the job they do. We can see that the community at large is happy about the workers. Growing up I use to read a lot of negative stories about the hospital but lately all that have changed. The community is no longer complaining so with that said we have to shower them with love and appreciate them,” she said.

After spending over five years in the United States of America (USA) chasing his dream of becoming a deejay, Dj Mpiloz has decided to return back home and open his Ikhaya Shisanyama and Carwash business.

Real name Philani Manyoni, the Pholisa hitmaker recently returned from the USA where he left behind his Irish born fiance in order to pursue his other business interest in South Africa.

Speaking to MDN, Dj Mpiloz said that opening the Ikhaya Shisanyama and Carwash was a dream come true for him.

‘Ikhaya is a Zulu word which means home. I wanted to build something that will always remind me where home is at. With the Shisanyama and Carwash business, I will be able to spend time in the USA and also come back to check on the business on how is it doing. This is something which will make me come back home at anytime,” he said.

Despite being open about his Irish born fiance, Dj Mpiloz said that he prefers his relationship private since she is someone who is not in the public domain.

‘Yes I’m engaged to a beautiful white Irish girl since last year. We are still not married yet hopefully the date will come soon. I will invite you all,” he said giggling.

Speaking about being homesick, Dj Mpiloz said that business as the side hustle will always be good since it will help him to pay the bills.

“I needed something on the side that will feed my family because you know in the music industry sometimes gigs can be dry, but the bills still stand. I needed to have something that can put bread on the table so that I can be able to provide for my family,” he said.

Dj Mpiloz further said that on his latest single titled Pholisa he featured is friends Tebza De Dj and singer Buhle Nhlangulela.

“The way the song was made is magical. I recently came back home because my sister is getting married. Tebza called me and when I arrived in studio there was Buhle. What happened next is magic, that is how Pholisa was made. It was a blessing in disguise because after the wedding I’m going back to the USA where I get more recognition than in SA,” he said.

Dj Mpiloz said that he also get more recognition in the UK, Qatar, Mexico, Netherlands, Kenya , Ethiopia and Argentina just to name the few.

“My dream is to be recognized everywhere, specifically in the international stage. I want to be able to donate houses for the poor, food and clothes for those who are in need,” he said.
